YouTube banners make your channel fun and unique. You can edit the banner from a desktop or mobile device in a few simple steps. YouTube provides a helpful customer service team if you have trouble getting the changes to save.
YouTube channels can feature custom images called banners. The banner displays along the top of your channel screen, and anyone who accesses your channel will see it.
YouTube channel banners are sometimes called channel branding or artwork. You can edit your banner from a desktop or mobile device. Here's how to get started.
You can manage your YouTube channel banner via the Studio dashboard on a desktop device.
Now you can upload a new YouTube channel banner. The image has to be at least 2048 x 1152 pixels and it can't be over 6MB. You can contact YouTube customer service if you have questions about banner requirements.
You can edit your channel banner on mobile devices too. To get started, download the YouTube app or the YouTube Studio app. (The YouTube Studio app is designed for people who post videos regularly and isn't necessary for every user).

Banner changes might take a few minutes to update across YouTube. You can contact YouTube's customer support team if your banner doesn't update after tapping Save.
GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like YouTube in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Edit the Banner on My YouTube Channel? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
